Excellent essay, but I have one clarification. These victims of rape and trafficking were, for the most part, CHILDREN. Not young men and women. When an adult man diddles, knowingly, with a 13 year old, that is absolutely horrendous. Put them all in prison for life. Not Camp Rich People. Max security. Even murderers despise child molesters. Let them suffer.
They actually were not CHILDREN at all — they were minors. This is where WE equal THEM in using an incorrect term to tilt the scales in our favor. There were apparently few or no pedophiles here — that refers to sex with pre-pubscents. They were technically ephebophiles, sex with teens under the legal age of consent.
Remember Anastasia...we are dealing with Americans here. 'Minors' is a legal euphemistically term. CHILDREN has an emotional feel & they can get it in their gut. No??
Exactly why people on our side incorrectly use the term "children" for teenagers: it elicits a more emotional response than saying "Older men having sex with minors."
Whenever he recalls what he saw inside that safe, aroused and repelled, Kash spurts sweat. There were cameras in all Epstein’s bedrooms. Kash can’t blot out a tiny figure nearly obscured by a blocky frame.
People who are honorable do not have to lie and/or double speak or make up propaganda lies about their opponents. Innocent people do not have to lie and/or double speak or make up propaganda lies about being accused of crimes. dt can neither claim honor or innocence. A coverup is a coverup is a coverup. If it looks like a duck and it quacks like a duck, it's a duck!!!! All we want is the truth, the unvarnished truth, the names of the miscreants who abuse/abused young children and women. No matter their status in politics, wealth, power, popularity, etc. It is time for the cohorts involved with epstein's crimes to feel the heat and be exposed in the public eye as well as held accountable in the courts of justice!
D has been living a lie his entire life. Due to his psycopathy, his perspective on his actions are skewed/warped. He is NEVER guilty of anything. FFS who thinks like that? Blame it on his father and his upbringing.
I don't see why Biden's DOJ would've been covering up for anyone. I doubt there were people in there they cared much about covering up for. I'd understood it was more of a procedural thing, that they had so much on their plates and were leery of jumping on something so incendiary without strong proof and a reason to jump it to the head of the line. Anyway, it's irrelevant. If Trump were totally, 100% innocent, he would've released the Epstein files the day he was inaugurated.
Good column but every commentator in the country is going on about how Trump is implicated one way or the other as you point out. The question I think that really needs to be answered is: Why are the large majority of Congressional Republicans working so hard to keep eyes off the files? It can't be that it's helping them politically because their base is furious about it.
So, what else is there? Could it be the number of them or some of their major donors are in them as part of the Epstein child molestation ring? That's what I think we need far more conversation about.
As the old cliche goes, it doesn’t take a “rocket scientist” to figure out that DJT is guilty as heck when it comes to participation in all of the filthy, disgusting acts that his “buddy” Jeffrey Epstein took part in. And Donnie even bragged about grabbing women by their genitals, yet foolish people still voted for him. He’s a rapist who also cheated on his illegal immigrant wife with another porn star. And the list goes on. He advised us to inject bleach into our systems to fight Covid during his first tenure, and if that wasn’t scary enough, I don’t know what was. He’s admitted more than once that he “likes them young” and even made disgusting references regarding his own daughter. Not to mention machine gun lips Karolying Leavitt. The bottom line is he’s not fit to be the president of a goldfish bowl. My conscious is clear. I didn’t vote for the convicted criminal.
ALL of the unredacted, actual files are coming from Epstein's Estate, with even more disgusting materials/evidence...validity backed by attorneys...All of the files and photos. Bondi and the Cabal have been outplayed. What she has isn't worth anything towards a defense of Trump at all.. or they would have been released ages ago.
To your point about rebuilding a new Democratic party, there is a 4th, bigger way in which Epstein screws the GOP: It amplifies the larger narrative of money + power rigging the system. Billionaires behaving badly with zero accountability. Money buying access. The dots connect to corruption, oligarchy, and techbro autocracy. We need to put the many over the money.
Thanks Mike. Great post. I am a retired teacher; I have worked with children traumatized by pedophiles. You really can't "fix" them. You can only get them justice. I don't use the word hate lightly, but I hate people who harm children. Let's get every guilty SOB.
Why defend a guy that's a lame duck if you be in the Washington loop of fools. There is absolutaley no need for fealty to this psyco sexist, masogamist tyrant. Off with both his heads. beheading and castration
Great post!! And yes Trump IS guilty.
Trump Is Guilty
Of course....when has he EVER been gentleman with a half naked woman 😅. I know it's hard but has he ever been to a beach? No. A nudist colony? No.

Sex with teens under the age of consent/ minors is legally known as rape, statutory rape and sexual assault.
There is right and wrong in this matter. Lawful and unlawful. There is no tilting of the scales in these matters. Period.

A child "molester" is a murderer. Destroyed for life.

It’s time that the WH Caligula face the music. He may not care for the genre but it will be quite entertaining for us!😂🤣
They didn’t abuse women. They abused young girls. They are pedophiles and sexual predators.
Great post. Thank you for acknowledging that Democratic politicians/celebs, etc. are just as guilty in this. *Cough* Schumer *cough*
